Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrically actuated device that can be applied in electric strikes of doors and enclosures having a moving leaf relative to a frame.
  • a screw that is used so that the installer can connect the power cable is screwed on these terminals on the outer portion.
  • the solenoid wires are joined to the terminals of the power strip by manual tin soldering.
  • An element is often added (also with soldering) to protect the mechanism against voltage surges.
  • a basic power strip has two terminals that are simply positioned at the base of the power strip to then screw in the screws and solder the solenoid wire. On this power strip, if the screw is completely removed, the terminal can move, breaking the tin joint between the wire and the solenoid.
  • These power strips possibly include an element for protecting against voltage surges and the terminals are riveted so that they remain fixed to the plastic. This is an additional operation in the assembly process, but it ensures the soldering of the solenoid wire with the terminal. On this power strip, even if the screw is removed, the terminal remains joined to the base of the power strip.
  • Power strips that have internal protection for the screws, in addition to the possible element for protecting against voltage surges, are also known. These power strips have an inner cover that encapsulates said possible protection element and the tip of the screws, leaving only the tip of the terminal where the solenoid wire is soldered in view. In this way, the power strip is provided with extra protection against possible internal contact that may cause the electric strike to malfunction.
  • power strips are those that have a possible element for protecting against voltage surges and a voltage selector, for example of 12/24V AC/DC.
  • These power strips consist of a small circuit with a switch that, together with a dual-coil solenoid, makes it possible to change the voltage at which the electric strike operates.
  • the mentioned circuit consists of 4 tracks for soldering the two coils. Then, depending on the position of the switch pins, the coils work in parallel, or in series, to power the electric strike, for example at 12V AC/DC or 24V AC/DC, respectively.
  • connection power strips that incorporate a microswitch to control the status of the door are also known.
  • This power strip in addition to powering the electric strike, includes a microswitch that provides information on the status of the door by means of a cam that actuates it.
  • These power strips are based on a PCBA circuit that possibly incorporates an element for protecting against voltage surges, a microswitch and a power strip-block; and it has a plastic base that is assembled on the PCBA circuit and a cover that is assembled to protect the PCBA circuit; the solenoid wire being soldered to the PCBA circuit next to the element.
  • the ends of the solenoid wire are always free for soldering to the coil terminals.
  • the wire is generally protected by a flexible tube from the coil reel, leaving only the end for soldering free.
  • the tube protects the thread against friction but, even so, the assembly is prone to breakage of the wire when handling it.
  • ES 2651448 A1 discloses an electrically actuated device for electric strikes, comprising a pivoting latch, a solenoid connected to an electrical power strip and which when powered moves a core of the solenoid that acts on the locking and unlocking mechanism of the pivoting latch, wherein the electrical power strip comprises a PCBA circuit with screw terminals for mounting power screws.
  • the electrically actuated device for electric strikes object of the invention has technical features aimed at mounting the solenoid power strip, regardless of the type of power provided by said power strip or the functions performed by the same.
  • Another objective of the invention is to improve and simplify the connection of the solenoid to the power strip, solving the problem currently posed by the soldering of the thin coil wires to the terminals of the power strip and the risk of accidental breakage of the solder or wires when mounting or handling the electric strike.
  • connection between the solenoid and the power strip additionally provides a mechanical joint therebetween, so that the mounting thereof can be automated and they form a solid and/or resistant assembly.
  • Another objective of the invention is to improve and simplify the connection of the power strip to the power supply, solving the problem currently posed by the riveting and threading operations of the terminals with the base of the power strip, so that the mounting thereof can be automated and they form a solid and/or resistant assembly.
  • the power strip of the electric strike solenoid comprises:
  • the fastening clips protrude perpendicularly from the base of the power strip for attaching to at least two opposite sides of the PCBA circuit.
  • the assembly is carried out by placing the PCBA circuit parallel to the base and perpendicular to the base, causing the clips of the base to elastically deform, allowing the PCBA circuit to enter the housing.
  • connection strip may be suitable to provide different power supplies or include additional functions.
  • the PCBA circuit of the power strip additionally includes the suitable components for allowing the solenoid to be powered in a range of 100% ED AC/DC, always having an optimal power flow to improve functionality. Due to the need to incorporate more components, in this embodiment the PCBA circuit is larger in size but the assembly has the same assembly architecture, with a clip at the plastic base and connector for the solenoid, like the basic embodiment described above.
  • said PCBA circuit can be dimensioned and incorporate the necessary components to form: a timed electronic power strip, capable of providing the solenoid with power for a few seconds when the power supply has already been cut, or a dual voltage C power strip, capable of changing the voltage at which the electric strike operates by means of a voltage selector, for example, from 12V AC/DC to 24V AC/DC.
  • the plastic base of the power strip comprises holes for the external assembly of a microswitch power strip that indicates the open/closed status of the door in which the electric strike is mounted.
  • Said microswitch power strip comprises: a PCBA circuit carrying a microswitch together with connection terminals, and a plastic base having clips for the coupling and retention of the PCBA circuit.
  • Said microswitch can be actuated by a pivoting metal plate mounted in the electric strike, which rotates when the door slip enters the electric strike, actuating the microswitch.
  • the plastic base of the microswitch power strip has flexible, clamp-like attachments that can be coupled by pressure in the assembly holes defined in the base of the power strip for the coupling thereof.
  • This microswitch power strip is an element outside the electric strike and it can be coupled to the basic power strip and to the 100% ED AC/DC electronic power strip mentioned above at any time during the assembly process of the electric strike, as it does not interfere with the PCBA circuit of the power strip or with any other component of the electric strike.
  • One feature of the invention is that the power strip, regardless of the components included in the PCBA circuit, incorporates screw terminals.
  • the screws that enable the power cables to be connected to the electric strike can be inserted. This operation can be carried out at any time during the assembly process of the electric strike, either when the power strip still has not been connected to the solenoid or when the electric strike is fully assembled.
  • the solenoid has technical features aimed at forming a solenoid assembly with all the integral components.
  • the solenoid reel incorporates two pins for contact with the start/end of the coil. These pins are connected to the power strip connector, ensuring proper electrical connection and avoiding the problems currently posed by the connection of the coil wires to the terminals of the connection strip by means of direct soldering.
  • This invention envisages other alternative connections of the solenoid to the power strip, specifically:
  • the resulting assembly of parts is rigid and fully integrated, thus eliminating the risks of wire breakage that exist when the coil-power strip joint is flexible and, at the same time, the automation of the assembly process in the electric strike is facilitated.
  • the assembly is housed in the electric strike box, either with the basic power strip, with the 100% ED AC/DC electronic power strip, with the timed electronic power strip or with the dual voltage power strip.
